A much-loved Mum, Nonna and friend Monica Curtis passed away in March 2023. 

Monica had been a kidney patient for more than 15 years, receiving dialysis 3 times a week. The treatment was invasive and at times hard, but she was disciplined and endured it with her customary humour. 

In her own words: "It keeps me alive and has let me watch my grandchildren grow up. I wouldn't swap it for anything."
